<h1>Chapter 1: You Are Our Heart</h1><p>Alec was looking around the fancy restaurant with awe and uncertainty. The restaurant was on the top floor of a skyscraper in New York and also had a fancy connected bar. Both the bar and the restaurant had an amazing view of the New York skyline. Magnus had explained the place had three Michelin stars and was considered <em>the</em> place to be seen for the super rich of the city. The information didn’t really mean much to Alec except he became aware that this was a really fancy place which made him worry he would do something wrong. Or trip and fall and embarrass both Magnus and Jace. He could just imagine that happening. Despite his grace in battle, he was decisively ungraceful when not engaged in combat.</p><p>He felt very out of place here. He was happy Magnus had helped him pick a suitable outfit but had chosen earthy colors he knew Alec felt comfortable in. He was wearing dark dress pants and a dark shirt with a jacket with some black embroideries and stones on it, inspired from the 1820s English nobility. The whole outfit suited him well and highlighted his high cheekbones and his eyes. Despite the nice outfit, Alec still felt nervous and uncertain as he often did in social situations and in particular new social situations. He hoped no one would pay him any attention or notice him. Throughout his childhood he had perfected the art of playing invisible in all gatherings and he had gotten quite good at it. No one noticed him in a room; in particular not if one or both of his lovers were with him as they both knew how to make an impression to put it mildly.</p><p>Alec looked at Jace who sat to his left, Magnus sitting to his right. Jace had dressed up as much as he felt he wanted in a black suit and a black shirt; the outfit was tight enough to show off his amazing physique and was a sharp contrast to his blond features and eyes. He was stunning and Alec was mesmerized just looking at him. Even though Jace, like Alec, had not been to many Mundane establishments and certainly none as fancy as this place, Jace was leaning back in his chair, relaxed, looking completely comfortable and like he owned the room. This had been one of the reasons Alec had fallen in love with him as soon as he had seen him; Jace owned any room, any situation he was in. Everyone noticed him because Jace wanted to be noticed; because Jace <strong>owned</strong> and <strong>captured</strong> his audience from the first moment to the last.</p><p>Magnus was dressed to kill. His outfit looked like it was taken out of a fashion magazine, wearing a purple tunic, black leather pants, boots, several necklaces, black nail polish and make-up to match. He was like a work of art and he left Alec breathless just looking at him. Magnus looked completely at ease here and every bit the social butterfly and center of attention and he clearly loved every second of it. He had clearly not only been in similar places before but he had been to this specific establishment before and was given special attention by the staff. That could of course have something to do with the black Amex card he was flashing that Alec didn’t know what meant. He did notice how the staff almost fell over each other in their eagerness to serve Magnus after being handed the card when he had paid for their cocktails in the bar before they had been moved to their table in the restaurant.</p><p>“This is all so very fancy. Are you sure this is ok?” Alec asked worried, again flattening the napkin in his lap to have something to do with himself.</p><p>“Of course it is, darling,” Magnus said with a fond smile as he took his nearest hand to his lips and kissed it tenderly, making Alec blush prettily and shyly look away.</p><p>“But…isn’t it…expensive?” Alec asked, looking down, touching the necklace Magnus had given him to ground himself and it instantly made him feel better.</p><p>“Extremely,” Magnus confirmed with a warm smile.</p><p>“Then we should go somewhere else,” Alec quickly suggested.</p><p>“Why?” Magnus asked, surprised. “Do you not like it?”</p><p>Alec shook his head as he hurried to reassure him, “No, it’s not that.”</p><p>“Then what is it, darling?” Magnus asked with a hint of worry.</p><p>“You shouldn’t waste money like that,” Alec insisted.</p><p>“Money spent on you is never a waste,” Magnus assured him.</p><p>“But still…” Alec started to insist, blushing a bit at Magnus’ words.</p><p>“Alexander, I have lived for hundreds of years. I do know how to run an investment portfolio,” Magnus said matter of fact before he added with a smile, “Or rather my bankers do.”</p><p>“I…I don’t understand,” Alec admitted a bit confused, still not feeling like Magnus should be wasting his money like this.</p><p>“It means that Magnus wants you to just enjoy the evening,” Jace reassured him, knowing the difficulty Alec had with accepting when something was done for him.</p><p>“Yes, precisely,” Magnus agreed. “Relax and enjoy it. We could literally eat like this every night for the next 500 years and I would still have money to burn.”</p><p>His words and the clear order and commitment in them, the clear direction and conviction, made Alec relax and he smiled as he said, “Ok.”</p><p>“I am rather fond of you being a part of this deal with Alec; you make everything seem effortless from sex to restaurant visits,” Jace told Magnus in a teasing tone that belied how much he truly cared for Magnus.</p><p>“I aim to be useful,” Magnus replied with a smirk, knowing Jace well enough to understand the care he wasn’t saying.</p><p>“Sir, have you decided?” a waiter asked respectfully as he came to the table, looking at Magnus first before looking at Jace and Alec.</p><p>Magnus turned and looked at Alec, smiling encouragingly as he asked, “Darling, what would you like?”</p><p>Alec glanced at the menu again before admitting, feeling a bit lost, “I…I don’t know.”</p><p>“Shall I choose for you?” Magnus suggested, seeing Alec’s hesitation.</p><p>Alec smiled relieved at him and nodded as he closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter, “Yes please.”</p><p>“Very well,” Magnus said with a smile. He turned to the waiter. “We will both have the tasting menu with the premium wine pairing.” He turned to look at Jace, “Jace, dear?”</p><p>“Sure. Give me that too,” Jace agreed and handed over his menu card.</p><p>“Very well, Sir. Would you like another glass of champagne?” the waiter asked, noticing Magnus’ champagne glass was empty.</p><p>“How about a bottle?” Jace suggested to Magnus, giving him a meaningful look, thinking it would come in handy later.</p><p>Magnus nodded agreement.</p><p>“Sure. Can you bring us a bottle of your finest champagne, 23 years old,” Magnus ordered.</p><p>“Very good, Sir,” the waiter said before he went to the kitchen to place their orders.</p><p>“23…I do like things that are 23 years old,” Jace said with a teasing smile as he leaned over and gave Alec a quick kiss on the lips.</p><p>It took Alec a few seconds before he caught on.</p><p>“23 years…like me?” Alec asked with a shy blush, looking from Jace’s smirk to Magnus’ smile.</p><p>“Precisely, darling,” Magnus confirmed.</p><p>“Thank you,” Alec said a bit shyly, still amazed at the attention from both his lovers. He felt so lucky they loved him.</p><p>“So, besides Jace and I wanting to take you somewhere nice we also wanted to talk with you about something,” Magnus began to say.</p><p>“Yes?” Alec asked a bit guarded.</p><p>“Nothing bad, parabatai. You can relax; we both love you. That’s what we want to talk to you about,” Jace quickly assured him, seeing the worry in Alec’s eyes.</p><p>“Ok,” Alec said, relaxing again, touching Jace’s bracelet on his wrist for a few seconds, the gesture calming him and making him smile fondly.</p><p>“How do you feel about marriage?” Magnus asked with a smile.</p><p>“In…general?” Alec asked hesitantly, a bit confused.</p><p>“Marriage to us,” Jace clarified with a winning grin.</p><p>“That sounds amazing but…is that possible? Could I….could I really be a husband to you both?” Alec asked hopefully, looking from Jace to Magnus.</p><p>“Polygamy marriages have existed in all religions, in all societies, for centuries, so yes, of course it is possible,” Magnus assumed him. “In fact it is quite normal among Downworlders as for many races a marriage for life means a marriage for eternity.”</p><p>“Your champagne, sir,” the waiter said and showed the bottle to Magnus.</p><p>Magnus nodded as he said, “Thank you. Just leave it on the table.”</p><p>“Yes, Sir,” the waiter said as he got a silver cooler and left the champagne on the table in the cooler.</p><p>“Then yes, of course I want to belong to you like that,” Alec quickly assured Magnus with a smile. Alec then looked to Jace as he added, “I want to belong to you both in all ways.”</p><p>“He really is perfection,” Jace said fondly to Magnus as he stroked Alec’s cheek. Alec blushed and looked shyly down as Magnus smiled in agreement.</p><p>“You are perfect, parabatai,” Jace said warmly, lovingly as he with a hand under Alec’s chin lifted up his face so he could see his eyes before he stole another kiss.</p><p>When Jace released his chin Alec’s eyes fell to the table again as he smiled shyly, happily, as he said in a soft tone, “Thank you.”</p><p>“Now, you mentioned you wanted to belong to us in all ways. Do you mean that, darling?” Magnus asked him, giving him an intense look.</p><p>“Of course,” Alec readily agreed. He couldn’t imagine anything he wanted more than that; to feel that kind of security and safety was all he had ever wanted.</p><p>“What would you say if I told you there is a way that I can bind your soul to mine?” Magnus went on.</p><p>“Like…a parabatai bond?” Alec asked curiously.</p><p>Magnus nodded, “Not quite but yes, similar in many ways.”</p><p>Alec smiled widely just thinking about it.</p><p>“That would be amazing. Then you each have half my soul, literally, like you own half my heart,” Alec said joyfully, looking from Magnus to Jace and then back again.</p><p>Magnus smiled back before he added in a serious tone, “What if I then told you that doing this ritual would also mean you become immortal?”</p><p>Alec didn’t even have to think about it. One of his greatest fears when it came to loving Magnus had always been that Magnus was immortal and he wasn’t; the thought he could be with Magnus forever was beyond amazing.</p><p>“Immortal? Truly?” Alec asked eagerly.</p><p>“Yes,” Magnus confirmed with a wide grin.</p><p>“That’s amazing!” Alec said excitedly. Then his smile faded as he looked at Jace before he looked back at Magnus.</p><p>“No, wait. We can’t,” Alec denied forlorn.</p><p>“Why not?” Magnus asked with a frown, surprised by the change in mood in Alec towards the idea.</p><p>Alec looked at Jace, surprised that he didn’t look shocked or offended by this discussion of immortality for him. In fact, he looked more puzzled by Alec’s protest than anything else.</p><p>“We would leave Jace alone. I can’t do that,” Alec denied, shaking his hand.</p><p>“Oh, parabatai,” Jace said with a fond look, touched by his care as he knew how much Alec wanted to stay with Magnus forever when given the chance.</p><p>Magnus smiled triumphantly as he declared, “What if I told you that he would become immortal too?”</p><p>Alec’s eyes widened in shock.</p><p>“Truly?” Alec asked hopefully.</p><p>Magnus nodded, “Yes.”</p><p>“I would love that!” Alec declared happily, looking from Magnus to Jace, smiling widely.</p><p>“When you talked to me about this a few weeks ago I never asked about the details but I am still not sure I understand how that’s possible,” Jace admitted, giving Magnus a thoughtful look.</p><p>“Alexander and you are parabatai so you share a soul. When I bind my soul, my immortal soul, with Alexander’s, I automatically also bind it with the half of your soul inside Alexander,” Magnus explained.</p><p>“But it’s only half my soul,” Jace protested, still not understanding how it worked though frankly he was just happy it did.</p><p>“I know but what is half of infinity?” Magnus asked in a teasing tone and a warm look.</p><p>“What?” Jace asked confused, not understanding the reference.</p><p>“I am immortal, Jace. Even if I give you half of forever I will still have forever left. Even if only half your soul is forever then all of you is forever,” Magnus clarified.</p><p>Jace thought about that for a moment and a smile started to spread over his lips.</p><p>“That’s…amazing. What do you think, Alec?” Jace asked, looking at him lovingly.</p><p>“It is a dream come true. Yes, please, to all of it,” Alec said eagerly.</p><p>Magnus smiled at hearing his reply but then he grew more serious as he cautioned, “I should warn you first though that it would in essence mean there is no part of your soul which doesn’t belong to either Jace or I.”</p><p>Alec wasn’t in the least intimidated by that thought. He felt safe and whole with his lovers; it was with his own fears and insecurities he had issues so if this would mean he was never truly alone then that was precisely what he wanted.</p><p>“I want it that way. It is how I feel already,” Alec assured him.</p><p>“I love you, darling,” Magnus said fondly and gave him a gentle kiss.</p><p>“I love you too,” Alec said lovingly when Magnus pulled back.</p><p>Alec turned to look at Jace who was quick to reassure him, “I love you, parabatai.”</p><p>Jace put a hand on his neck and kissed him possessively, passionately, leaving Alec slightly dazed when he drew back and released him.</p><p>“I love you too, Jace,” Alec said fondly, fighting to get his growing arousal the kiss had kindled under control.</p><p>“However, you should know one thing; the ritual for this would be painful for you,” Magnus warned seriously, worry and concern clear in his tone.</p><p>Magnus hated the idea that Alec would suffer in any way but if they decided to do this, there was no way around it.</p><p>“I don’t care,” Alec insisted strongly, shaking his head to emphasize his words.</p><p>“The ritual is similar to a parabatai ritual but it will be more painful due to the demonic magic involved as you are Nephilim. The ritual is normally not painful for Mundanes as their bodies don’t reject the demonic magic or Downworlders as they already have demon blood,” Magnus clarified regretfully.</p><p>“Have other Nephilim done this before?” Jace asked worried.</p><p>“No,” Magnus admitted.</p><p>“Then I don’t think we should take the chance with Alec,” Jace said firmly, looking concerned at his parabatai. Nothing was worth risking Alec; nothing!</p><p>“I want to,” Alec protested.</p><p>“Alec,” Jace started to say in a warning tone, ready to cut him off.</p><p>“Please, Jace. Please, I beg of you. Let me do this. I can take it. Please,” Alec pleaded, putting a hand on Jace’s arm and looking at him with huge eyes filled with need and hope.</p><p>Even though he hated the idea of Alec taking any type of risk or being in pain, no matter for what reason, Jace never could say no to him when he was like this.</p><p>“Very well but if it gets too bad I will shut this whole thing down,” Jace reluctantly agreed.</p><p>Alec smiled brightly at him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips that Jace deepened by taking a hand to his cheek before he let go of him. Alec pulled back to his chair, a clear blush of need and lust on Alec’s face and a proud and satisfied smirk on Jace’s for having caused that.</p><p>“Don’t worry; if it gets too bad I will do that myself,” Magnus reassured Jace, not willing to risk Alec either.</p><p>“What about the Clave though?” Alec asked worried, knowing that the Clave was precisely the reason why so few knew Alec was also in a relationship with Jace and not just with Magnus.</p><p>“Fuck ‘em,” Jace said darkly, hating that they were the reason he could not make his own connection to Alec known to the world because of their small-mindedness.</p><p>“Jace, dear,” Magnus schooled him gently.</p><p>“No, I mean…will we forever have to keep saying I only belong to Magnus? Now for eternity?” Alec asked with a worried frown, feeling saddened and offended on both Jace’s and his own behalf if that was the case.</p><p>Magnus shook his head.</p><p>“No. This ritual supersedes the authority of the Clave; this is ancient magic and the Clave will be forced to accept that,” Magnus explained with a satisfied and happy smile. He was relieved he had found a way for Jace to also show how much Alec meant to him as he knew how much it had pained Jace to be unable to do that in public so far.</p><p>“So the Clave would have to acknowledge and accept I am with you both?” Alec clarified with a happy smile.</p><p>“After I do the binding ritual to tie our souls together then yes. As you are parabatai with Jace, it follows that he is a part of this relationship and they will be forced to accept that,” Magnus agreed, smiling back.</p><p>“I can’t wait to kiss you in public. A lot!” Jace declared happily at Alec who blushed and looked down for a moment.</p><p>“I….I would like that,” Alec said shyly, still amazed at the idea of his long time crush wanting to kiss him and then kiss him in public!</p><p>Jace smiled gratefully at Magnus as he added heartfelt, “Thank you.”</p><p>“You’re welcome. I am grateful for the chance to have forever with you both,” Magnus said honestly, having always feared the loneliness that immortality often brought with it.</p><p>“So…we are doing this?” Jace asked eagerly, looking at Magnus for confirmation.</p><p>“I think so. Alexander?” Magnus asked, looking at him expectedly.</p><p>“I want nothing more,” Alec said enthusiastically, his eyes and voice filled with love and devotion as he looked from Magnus to Jace and then back again.</p><p>“Then only one thing is missing,” Magnus concluded with a smile.</p><p>“What?” Alec asked breathlessly, following Magnus with his eyes as he rose from his chair and went down on one knee in front of his chair.</p><p>Magnus pulled out a black velvet ring box from his jacket and opened it, revealing a beautiful white gold ring with various symbols on it, written in the demonic language of Edom, ensuring magical protection to the wearer and that all magical creatures would know whom he belonged to. Few beings would dare to attack the lover and husband of the prince of Hell!</p><p>“Alexander Lightwood, I love you more than I have ever loved anyone in my life. There is nothing I want more than being with you. Would you do me the great honor of belonging to me in all ways; to be bonded to me in a marriage bond for eternity, our souls forever intertwined?” Magnus asked formality, his eyes and voice filled with emotions as he spoke.</p><p>“Yes, yes! I love you so much! A thousand times yes!” Alec almost screamed in excitement, shining like a small sun, grinning widely.</p><p>Alec had dreamed of this moment since he had first fallen in love with Magnus and it was perfect; everything was just perfect.</p><p>“Oh, darling,” Magnus got out affectionately as he took Alec’s right hand and slid the ring onto his ring finger.</p><p>“It’s beautiful. I love it. Thank you,” Alec said heartfelt as he admired the delicate and fancy looking ring on his finger while Magnus rose. Magnus smiled happily at hearing his words before he kissed him softly.</p><p>“I guess it’s my turn now,” Jace said with a grin as Magnus sat back down. Jace rose and took Magnus’ place, going down on one knee in front of Alec.</p><p>“Yes?” Alec encouraged expectantly, eagerly, breathless as Jace took one of his hands between his own.</p><p>“Alec, I have loved you since I first saw you. I’m sorry it took me so long to figure out precisely in what way I loved you. I want you with me forever; no one has ever brought me such calm, joy and peace as being loved by you does. <strong>Having</strong> you, <strong>loving</strong> you, is the best thing I have ever done in my life. Alec, I want you to belong to me always, I want you to be mine for eternity. Will you marry me and be mine, now and forever?” Jace asked emotionally, his voice serious and warm as he spoke.</p><p>“Of course I will marry you, Jace,” Alec said emotionally, happily.</p><p>Alec had wanted to hear these words from Jace since he had first realized he loved him when he had been in his early teens. He had never thought this day would come and now that it was happening, it was everything he had always dreamed of and more.</p><p>Jace smiled and with his free hand, still holding Alec’s hand in the other, he took out a robust silver ring from within his jacket pocket. The ring had the runes for strength, healing and the wedding rune as well as the letter ‘J’, the eternity symbol and then ‘A’ engraved on it.</p><p>“I know it’s not so fancy but…” Jace said a bit self-consciously.</p><p>Magnus had offered him money so he could get something fancy for Alec but he wanted what he gave Alec to come 100% from him and he had therefore made this ring himself from silver he had been gifted by a vampire he had saved years ago.</p><p>“Parabatai, I love it! This ring is so you just as Magnus’ ring was suited for him. I love you both with all my heart and all my soul. Thank you!” Alec proclaimed happily, honestly and Jace smiled back at seeing Alec’s genuine happiness.</p><p>Reassured that his ring was appreciated Jace slid it onto Alec’s ring finger on his other hand.</p><p>“Thank you for being mine. For being ours,” Jace said emotionally as he rose and gave Alec a strong and possessive kiss before sitting back down again.</p><p>“Here,” Magnus said, handing them a glass of champagne each.</p><p>“Wait. What shall my new name be?” Alec asked thoughtfully, still smiling, looking from the new rings on each hand to Magnus and then Jace.</p><p>“You don’t have to change your name, darling,” Magnus assured him with a fond smile.</p><p>“I want to,” Alec insisted. “I want the world to see I am yours and that you both wanted me enough to offer me this,” he added a bit shyly but strongly, smiling joyfully at just saying that aloud.</p><p>“What do you want it to be, Alec?” Jace asked curiously, smiling warmly and encouraging at him.</p><p>“How about….Alexander Gideon Lightwood Herondale-Bane?” Alec suggested hesitantly after a few seconds of reflection, a bit afraid of how they would react to his suggestion.</p><p>“That’s some mouthful, darling,” Magnus teased.</p><p>“You…don’t like it?” Alec asked sadly.</p><p>“You want to take my name, both of our names? That’s just perfect! I love it!” Jace proclaimed joyfully, looking at Magnus for confirmation.</p><p>“Of course I do. I love it,” Magnus assured Alec fondly, moved by the love in Alec’s desire for a new name.</p><p>“Thank you. Both of you,” Alec said happily, smiling again at hearing this show of support and love from both his lovers…both his fiancées.</p><p>“To us!” Magnus proclaimed as he raised his champagne glass.</p><p>“To us!” Alec and Jace said in unison.</p><p>They all three touched their glasses together in a toast to love, unity and forever.</p>

  <strong>Chapter 2: You Are Our Soul</strong>
</p><p>“Should he not be waking up?” Jace asked anxiously, sitting on the bedside, looking down at Alec lying so still in their large bed at Magnus’ loft as he gently wiped some of Alec’s hair out of his eyes.</p><p>Magnus had performed the soul binding ritual a few weeks after the proposal as he had needed to gather some rare and unique magical items for the spell. To ensure the Clave would not get news of what they were planning and might try and stop them Magnus had performed the ritual in the living room of the loft. The ritual had consisted of Alec being within a circle of magical fire after he had drunk a potion Magnus had handed him. Magnus had been in his own circle of blue magical fire and when the flames engulfed them both Magnus could feel his soul being stretched but it was not painful to him as the flames were demonic in nature. For Alec though it had felt like real fire and he had fought not to express how painful it was, not wanting Magnus or Jace to worry or stop the ritual.</p><p>Jace had been on the outside of this and had watched it all with increasing worry as he felt Alec’s pain through their bond. The pain increased until Alec was forced to his knees and was screaming in pain. Just when Jace was going to insist they forgot the whole thing, the magical flames around both Magnus and Alec died and Alec had lost consciousness. Jace had carried him to their bed before he had helped an exhausted Magnus to sit in a chair next to the bed and had fed him steak and vodka; the best way to magically recharge according to Magnus. </p><p>A few hours had passed by now and Magnus had fully recharged but Alec was still not waking up. He looked peaceful and calm in sleep but was just not waking up, worrying Jace to no end even though he didn’t feel any pain from Alec through the bond.</p><p>“He will. Give it a little time,” Magnus assured him, coming to stand next to Jace, looking down at Alec affectionately.</p><p>“Are you sure he is ok?” Jace asked again for the twentieth time at least, looking from Alec up at Magnus.</p><p>“Yes. His body and soul are simply readjusting to everything. His soul and body are the conduit between you and me and that can be draining. It is a transition for him to both be immortal for himself and for you by connecting us through him,” Magnus explained.</p><p>Jace nodded, having heard it before but was still worried as he turned back to look at Alec.</p><p>Just then Alec stirred and started to wake up.</p><p>“Magnus? Jace?” Alec asked worried as his eyes fluttered.</p><p>“We are here, darling,” Magnus reassured him while Jace took his nearest hand and squeezed it.</p><p>Alec smiled relieved when he saw them both. Then he looked anxiously and hopefully up at Magnus.</p><p>“Did it work?” Alec asked and as soon as he saw Magnus’ smile he knew it had and his whole world was suddenly bright and beautiful.</p><p>“Yes, darling. It worked. I can feel our souls connected just as I can feel the connection between Jace and yourself and how a piece of my soul connects to his,” Magnus explained warmly, putting a hand affectionately on Jace’s shoulder as he spoke.</p><p>After a few seconds, Magnus went to sit on the bedside next to Jace and held on to Alec’s other hand when he reached it out to him.</p><p>“So…” Alec asked hopefully.</p><p>“So you are both immortal,” Magnus confirmed.</p><p>“It worked!” Jace said happily, grinning widely.</p><p>“It worked,” Magnus said, nodding, still smiling.</p><p>“The Clave…we should have the wedding ceremony quickly so they won’t try to interfere,” Jace said, not wanting anything to go wrong now.</p><p>“No need. The bonding ritual is also the wedding ceremony,” Magnus reassured him.</p><p>“We…are married?” Alec asked surprised.</p><p>“According to Downworlder custom then you are married to both Jace and I now,” Magnus confirmed with a smile.</p><p>“That’s incredible,” Alec said in awe and wonder, looking from one to the other.</p><p>“We can still have a wedding if you wish,” Magnus assured him.</p><p>“Do you?” Alec asked hesitantly.</p><p>“Darling, I asked you a question. Remember?” Magnus insisted, putting a bit of steel into his tone to make it clear he expected Alec to answer.</p><p>“Sorry,” Alec said sheepishly, blushing a bit in embarrassment before he admitted a bit shyly, “Yes. I would love a wedding with you both.”</p><p>“Perfect! I have wanted to plan this event for a long time,” Magnus exclaimed happily, clashing his hands together eagerly.</p><p>“Just tell me when and where to show up and I am fine,” Jace told Magnus with a smile.</p><p>“You don't want a wedding?” Alec asked a bit sadly, afraid he had done something wrong, something Jace didn’t like, by admitting he wanted the wedding.</p><p>But then of course he wanted the whole world to know Magnus and Jace both wanted him but would they also want the whole world to know he was theirs? He had clearly won the marriage lottery with these two most amazing men but all he had to offer in return was just himself and he had never felt he was anything special.</p><p>“Of course I do! I want nothing more than for the whole world to see you belong to me,” Jace quickly assured him, stealing a quick kiss that made all of Alec’s insecurities fade away. “I am just not into the detailed planning of things. Choose whatever makes you happy and I will be happy,” Jace clarified.</p><p>“Thank you,” Alec said heartfelt.</p><p>“I love you, my parabatai and now….my husband,” Jace said lovingly, proudly, possessively as he took Alec’s hand to his lips and kissed it, making Alec blush at the romantic gesture.</p><p>“I love you too, Jace,” Alec said happily and his eyes fixed on Jace’s lips until he got another kiss and then another.</p><p>“So…are we planning a wedding or…” Magnus asked when Jace drew back with a sexy smile, leaving Alec looking dazed and he gave a small mumble of protest when the kisses stopped. </p><p>“Later. I think our angel wants something else from us right now, don’t you, parabatai?” Jace said knowingly.</p><p>“Yes, please,” Alec said eagerly, looking from one to the other as he sat up in bed.</p><p>“Are you feeling up for something like that, darling?” Magnus asked, as he knew well what that eager and needy look in Alec’s eyes meant. He should be completely healed but Magnus just wanted to confirm it.</p><p>“Yes, very much so,” Alec said keenly, nodding enthusiastically.</p><p>Magnus grinned and felt his arousal begin to heighten as he asked, “What do you want, darling?”</p><p>“I want to feel you both, please,” Alec said in a needy voice as he got up on his knees in bed. He was only wearing boxers as Magnus had magic’d the rest of his clothes away after Jace had carried him to bed.</p><p>“Parabatai, be specific,” Jace demanded, wanting, needing, to hear him say what he wanted because both Magnus and he always wanted to make sure they did what their angel wanted and needed at all times.</p><p>“Can I….Can I taste you both? Please?” Alec asked, licking his lips in anticipation.</p><p>“Of course, darling,” Magnus agreed with a sinful smile as Jace and he both rose from the bed.</p><p>Alec moved closer to the edge of the bed on his knees and as Jace was nearest he reached for him first, looking up at him for permission before unzipping his pants. When Jace nodded, just as eager for this as Alec was, Alec quickly got his cock free. Using one hand on Jace’s thigh to support himself and the other to stroke his cock Alec went all the way down on him before pulling back up.</p><p>Magnus watched them through lust-filled eyes and put a hand on Alec’s neck, pushing him further down on Jace’s cock before pulling him back.</p><p>“Fuck! Your mouth is always so good, parabatai,” Jace got out, leaning his head back as he put his hands in Alec’s hair in a firm grip he knew Alec liked so much, feeling the echoes of Alec’s pleasure in the parabatai bond, heightening his arousal.</p><p>“Hmm,” Alec agreed happily, humming against his cock.</p><p>Alec moved up and down on Jace’s cock before Jace used his grip in his hair to pull him off himself and pushed him towards Magnus who snapped his fingers and his cock was free, hard and ready. Alec salivated just looked at it and as soon as Jace pushed him down towards it Alec eagerly took him all the way down, needing no encouragement or force to do so.</p><p>“So good, darling,” Magnus praised as Alec eagerly fucked himself deep and quick on his cock.</p><p>After a few more strokes, when Jace felt both Magnus and he were plenty lubricated and rock-hard he looked at Magnus who nodded and he pulled Alec off Magnus’ cock with a hard grip in Alec’s hair. Alec gave a small sound of protest as if someone had just stolen his favorite lollipop, making Jace grin and his arousal increase exponentially at seeing the needy look in Alec’s eyes.</p><p>“Lie down,” Jace ordered, his voice rough from his excitement.</p><p>Jace had barely spoken before Alec laid down on the bed on his back, his cock hard and leaking, looking up at his lovers with a penurious expression.</p><p>“So eager,” Magnus teased as he stroked himself with one hand before snapping his fingers and they were all naked.</p><p>“Please,” Alec begged of them, mostly because he wanted to, because he wanted to say it, wanted them to know how much he wanted them, needed them.</p><p>“Very,” Jace agreed with a sexy grin as he almost lazily stroked himself as he looked down at Alec with a lustful smile.</p><p>“Please, I need you both,” Alec pleaded as he looked up at them, batting his eyes at them in a way he knew always drove them crazy.</p><p>“How do you want him?” Jace asked of Magnus, knowing it always drove Alec crazy when Magnus and him were talking about how to have him, use him, with him right there, laid out before them like an offering for a God.</p><p>“Feeling his lips on me made me want to fuck his mouth,” Magnus said ruefully, looking at Alec’s lips as he spoke.</p><p>“Good,” Jace said and then grinned wickedly at Alec whose eyes had gone impossibly dark with lust at the prospect of what was to come. “That means your ass is mine,” Jace said eagerly.</p><p>“Oh, yes, please! I want you both. I want to feel how much you want me, how much you love me,” Alec begged desperately, following them with his eyes as Magnus moved to stand by his head near the bed and Jace sat on the bed between his legs.</p><p>“Want us to use you?” Magnus asked in a voice filled with dark promise that made desire run through Alec like a shiver.</p><p>Magnus took a firm and hard grip in Alec’s hair, forcing his head up and back, making Alec moan at the sensation of Magnus’ power and strength.</p><p>“Yes, yes, please. Use me, please,” Alec begged, licking his lips as Magnus used his grip in his hair to move his head closer to his hard cock.</p><p>“Oh, fuck yes!” Jace agreed as he sat between Alec’s spread legs, giving Alec’s cock a quick lick and suck because it was simply too inviting not to do that.</p><p>“Yes,” Alec got out as he felt Jace’s lips on him.</p><p>“Safeword if you want us to stop,” Magnus reminded him though he really didn’t need to; they had done this so many times before.</p><p>Magnus snapped his fingers and a bottle of lube appeared on the bed next to Jace, making the Shadowhunter grin his thanks at him and really emphasize his earlier words from when they had proposed; magic really did make everything, even sex, easier.</p><p>“Yes. Please…please can I taste you now?” Alec asked eagerly, looking from Magnus to his cock which was so close to his lips but still too far away, held back by Magnus’ firm grip in his hair.</p><p>Magnus moved his head and in a quick movement pushed his cock all the way into Alec’s mouth until he hit the back of his throat, making Alec briefly close his eyes and moan in pleasure before Magnus pulled back out.</p><p>“What specifically do you want, darling? I want you to say it,” Magnus insisted, using his grip in his hair to shake him a bit. He was rough enough for the pull to be slightly painful, knowing how Alec loved to feel this type of power from his lovers and sure enough; Alec moaned greedily and eagerly leaned into Magnus’ bruising grip.</p><p>“Fuck!” Alec cried out, closing his eyes against the sensations as Jace had stopped sucking him but had instead sucked on his own finger before he had pushed it deep inside of his lover.</p><p>Jace smiled wickedly at him as he saw the glazed look on Alec’s face when he started to move the finger in and out of him.</p><p>“Answer,” Magnus demanded, getting Alec’s attention back on him as he shook his head roughly back and forth.</p><p>Alec forced his eyes open and looked at Magnus with eyes filled with need and desire, his voice rough with arousal as he replied, “I want…I want to feel you in my throat, I want to be able to taste you for days!”</p><p>“Fuck yes!” Magnus agreed eagerly as he without reprieve, not that Alec ever wanted any, pushed his cock all the way into Alec’s mouth and started up a quick, deep and brutal rhythm that had tears coming to Alec’s eyes, just the way he loved it.</p><p>Alec closed his eyes and hummed his pleasure against Magnus’ cock, sending vibrations of desire though him. His pleasure was heightened by feeling Jace adding more and more fingers, opening him up nicely, fucking him as he went along, making Alec have to fight to keep paying attention to the cock in his mouth. </p><p>“Brace yourself, parabatai,” Jace warned as he positioned himself at Alec’s opening when he felt he was loose enough.</p><p>Jace had added lube to his cock with fingers that were almost shaking with his own need to be inside his parabatai, his husband now. It was still amazing for Jace to think of Alec like that; his husband. <strong>His</strong>! His husband. His and Magnus’. How amazing was that?</p><p>“By the angel!” Alec cried out in pleasure as Magnus pulled his cock out of his mouth for a moment to give him time to adjust to the sensation when Jace pushed all the way inside of him in one go, knowing that Alec needed this as much as he did, feeling Alec’s need in their bond. </p><p>“Shit! So tight. So good. So good for me, for us,” Jace mumbled feverishly as he started up a quick and brutal rhythm, hitting Alec’s prostate every time, making Alec moan loudly in pleasure whenever his mouth was not full of Magnus’ cock, just the way he loved it.</p><p>“Your mouth is so good,” Magnus praised in a voice filled with arousal.</p><p>Magnus kept fucking Alec’s mouth with increasing speed, feeling his lust increasing quickly by seeing how wrecked Alec looked. His desire increased even further by seeing the look of pure need and enjoyment on Alec’s face as he eagerly took both of his lovers as deep as he could, pushing his body down on Jace’s cock and pushing himself as deep onto Magnus’ cock as he could possibly get.</p><p>“Fuck!” Jace cried out as he pulled out only to slam back inside, hitting Alec’s prostate and sending shivers of desire through him.</p><p>“Please,” Alec begged, his eyes dark with desire, his voice rough from the face-fucking and filled with need, his cock leaking pre-come.</p><p>“I’m close,” Magnus warned roughly, fighting to control his orgasm in the light of seeing Alec’s needy and eager expression as he sucked him.</p><p>“Shit! I can feel you both now, as a feedback loop,” Jace got out as he felt the parabatai bond flare up and he could feel Alec’s pleasure and something else; Magnus’s pleasure too.</p><p>It was overwhelming and made Jace have to fight not to come from the looped pleasure from them both.</p><p>“Me too,” Magnus admitted roughly, his voice filled with lust and desire. “By the look on our angel’s face I will say he can feel us too,” Magnus added as he saw Alec’s eyes shoot open and a shiver run through him and he moaned deeply against the cock in his mouth.</p><p>“He always had a harder time closing his end of the parabatai bond than I did,” Jace grunted as he pushed inside Alec hard and deep with a sexy smirk just to be a bit of dick and see if he couldn’t push Alec over the edge.</p><p>A look of panic crossed Alec’s face as he realized he couldn’t control himself with the onslaught of also feeling Jace and Magnus’ pleasure. He pushed against Magnus’s hand in his hair and Magnus allowed him to pull off his cock.</p><p>“Please…please, I need to come, please. Can I come please?” Alec begged desperately, barely holding on, biting his lower lip to see if the pain could help him hold back, moaning as Jace pushed back inside him, hitting his prostate.</p><p>“Not yet,” Jace ordered, out of breath, as he pulled out before pushing forcefully back inside, feeling as much as seeing how much Alec was falling apart, unable to control himself as Jace’s own pleasure washed over him, adding to the pleasure and lust he was sensing from Magnus.</p><p>“Please...I can’t….please,” Alec begged, tears in his eyes from trying to hold back, wanting to be good but feeling both Magnus and Jace…it was too much.</p><p>“Fuck! Come untouched then and show us who you belong to,” Jace grunted, barely able to close the bond enough not to come from the onslaught of Alec’s pleasure and looking at Magnus' half-closed eyes he could tell the Warlock was fighting to control his end of their soul bond too.</p><p>Having gotten permission Alec allowed the pleasure to wash over him and within seconds he was carried away, drowning, feeling all of their desires and pleasure, mixing together.</p><p>“Shit!” Alec cried as he came explosively, needing nothing more than the overwhelming sensations of their combined arousal to push him over the edge.</p><p>“Fuck! You look so beautiful when you come undone like that,” Jace got out as he pushed back inside of Alec, almost coming himself from the combination of seeing Alec’s pleasure and feeling it, the power of it so strong it rippled through him even though he had closed the connection to Alec as much as he could.</p><p>Alec felt boneless and spent, endorphins making him feel high. For a second he closed his eyes before he turned his head and noticed Magnus was still very hard, looking at him with his cat eyes. He made a motion with a hand to indicate Magnus should come closer and with a sexy grin Magnus put his cock back against Alec’s lips. He eagerly opened his mouth and started sucking and licking him, making Magnus moan in pleasure.</p><p>Alec pulled off Magnus’ cock long enough to get out, his voice wracked and used as he felt Jace speed up his movements, chasing his release, “Come in me, please.”</p><p>Hearing Alec’s needy and abused voice was enough to send Jace over the edge and he came violently inside his angel.</p><p>“Fuck!” Jace cried as he fought his way through his orgasm, enjoying the way Alec felt around his cock as he came.</p><p>“Come on my face. I want to taste you, please,” Alec begged of Magnus, looking up at him with pleading eyes.</p><p>“Oh, yes,” Magnus agreed eagerly as he took a firm grip on his cock.</p><p>“Please,” Alec begged because he knew what hearing him beg for it did to Magnus, moaning a bit against the sensation as he felt Jace pull out of him but kept his attention on Magnus.</p><p>“Fuck!” Magnus cried as he quickly stroked himself off and came all over Alec’s face.</p><p>Magnus moaned as he saw Alec open his mouth and try to catch as much of his cum as possible, closing his eyes and humming contentedly as he swallowed. He locked eyes with Magnus as he took a hand and wiped his face and then licking his fingers, making Magnus almost interested in going for a second round already with the needy and sexy gesture as Alec licked his cum off his fingers like it was the best thing he had ever tasted.</p><p>“I love seeing you like this, so needy, so much mine!” Magnus admitted possessively, his cat eyes shining.</p><p>“Thank you,” Alec said softly at Magnus as the Warlock put a hand behind his head and bent down, giving him a hard and possessive kiss that stole his breath.</p><p>“Thank <strong>you</strong>, darling. You were perfect,” Magnus said softly as he pulled back and Alec blushed prettily the way only he could considering what they had just done.</p><p>“You were more than perfect, parabatai,” Jace said as he crawled up on the bed and turned Alec’s head away from Magnus and to the other side so he could give him a rough and possessive kiss of his own that Alec eagerly melted under.</p><p>Magnus snapped his fingers and they were all cleaned up and so was the bed.</p><p>“There,” Magnus said satisfied, smiling down at Alec and Jace.</p><p>“You must be exhausted now after the ritual and then this,” Jace said with a hint of worry as he scooted over and Alec moved with him so Magnus could get into bed too on the other side of him.</p><p>“But in a good way,” Alec assured him. “Snuggles?” Alec added hopefully when Magnus was laying more comfortably next to him.</p><p>“Always, darling,” Magnus agreed and he snapped his fingers and they were all three under the covers before he moved close to Alec.</p><p>Magnus snapped his fingers and a glass of juice appeared in his hand.</p><p>“Drink something, angel,” Magnus encouraged of Alec.</p><p>Alec pulled a bit away so he could more easily drink the juice.</p><p>“Thanks,” Alec said gratefully and Magnus nodded and with a snap of his fingers the glass was gone.</p><p> “You too, please,” Alec begged of Jace, turning towards him while Magnus moved closer, spooning him.</p><p>“Always, parabatai. Always,” Jace promised warmly as he moved closer to him.</p><p>Alec laid with his head on Jace’s chest and Jace held an arm possessively around his shoulders. Magnus rearranged himself so he was still spooning Alec and held around Alec’s waist.</p><p> “I love you, my parabatai, my husband, for eternity,” Jace said affectionately as he kissed the top of Alec’s head.</p><p>“I love you too. Always,” Alec vowed emotionally to his parabatai husband before he turned so he could look at Magnus.</p><p>“You are perfection, Alexander. Thank you for being my husband forever,” Magnus said lovingly as he kissed him tenderly, gently.</p><p>“I love you so much, Magnus, forever,” Alec swore when the kiss ended, his whole face showing his love and devotion to his Warlock husband.</p><p>“And Magnus, thank you for letting me join you guys now and forever. You are like family to me and I love you. Thanks for letting me share Alec with you – and for letting me share eternity with you both,” Jace said fondly and gratefully to Magnus.</p><p>“My pleasure, Jace dear. You are like family to me too and neither Alec nor I would any longer be complete without you here with us. I love you too,” Magnus said heartfelt and squeezed Jace’s nearest arm affectionately.</p><p>“I still can’t believe I was so fortunate I got to have you both and now I can call you both my husband; forever. There is nothing more I wish for in life than this,” Alec said contently, happily.</p><p>“Well….maybe kids I thought, darling?” Magnus reminded him fondly.</p><p>“Oh, yes. I would love that,” Alec admitted with a smile.</p><p>“Jace?” Alec asked a bit hesitantly, needing to be sure he would also be ok with this idea. Even though he had said yes before, he still wanted and needed that confirmation for this as with all things in his life.</p><p>“Of course I would love to raise kids with you both,” Jace said warmly, his voice easing all of Alec’s worries instantly the way only his husbands’ words of affection and assurance ever could.</p><p>“Still not changing diapers though!” Jace added humorously, making Alec give a short laugh.</p><p>“Don’t worry; I will do that,” Alec assured with a smile.</p><p>“I love you, parabatai. Now and forever,” Jace reconfirmed and kissed his lips softly.</p><p>“I love you too, Jace. I always have and I always will. I was yours from the moment I saw you,” Alec said fondly, looking adoringly at him. He then turned and looked at Magnus as he said in a voice filled with admiration and affection, “I loved you from the moment you said hi to me, Magnus. I belonged to you from that moment on and I will belong to you for eternity.”</p><p>“I love you always, my Alexander,” Magnus said lovingly as he kissed him tenderly.</p><p>“My husbands…thank you for letting me belong to you both,” Alec said happily, a look of pure contentment on his face.</p><p>“You are our heart and soul,” Magnus replied romantically, making Alec blush and smile shyly but joyfully.</p><p>“Thank you for being ours,” Jace said for them both.</p><p>They fell asleep like that, safe in each other’s arms, in each other’s love. A love that would literally last forever, unbroken, bound together for eternity.</p><p><em>Nephilim love once, fiercely</em>….forever, until the end of time. And beyond time as well if Magnus had anything to say about it and as a Prince of Hell….well, surely he did!</p><p>The end  </p>
